Ep 71: Money Messiah Pt 2 with John Vallis

"The highest value becomes our god; the point where comparative values dissolve" This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year. If you've not yet listened to part 1, go back and listen to that first for fuller context. It's Episode #70.   Part two begins pulling apart the article itself starting with the big question: What is value & where does it come from? Key words that we use to help understand value are: - Limitation - Sacrifice  - Exclusion - Selection - Focus - Prioritisation  All of course related to the concept of Hierarchies. Another incredibly important idea that Jordan Peterson has popularised. We then dive a little into: - East VS West - And how one is perhaps more liberation oriented, while the other more responsibility centric. We talk about Nirvana and Satori. Reaching a point where comparative values dissolve. Is this state the "Apex state" and the goal we're aiming for, or just a way / direction? We come up with the idea of "the interstitial nature of satori and value". Then we related it to Spiral Dynamics. This was a fascinating section. We talk about "The highest value becomes our god" We compare or relate everything against that primary value. And a whole lot more. Stay tuned for Part 3 of this mini-series!
